Connecticut. The Adviser commenced operations as an investment adviser on February

The Adviser provides investment advice on a discretionary basis to certain (i) pooled
investment vehicles intended for sophisticated investors and institutional investors, (ii)
individuals with separately managed accounts, and (iii) investment funds structured as
Insurance-Dedicated Investment Funds, whereby we serve as general partner and/or
investment adviser to investment funds which offer their interests exclusively to certain
(a) segregated
asset accounts of life insurance companies that qualify as such under
Section 1.817-5(e) of regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department (as set
forth in Title 26 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations) (the “Regulations”) and (b)
general accounts of such Insurance Companies but only as permitted by Section 1.817-
5(f)(3) of the Regulations. Investments in such segregated accounts must be available
exclusively through the purchase of variable life insurance or variable annuity contracts
within the meaning of Section 817(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, from such insurance companies.
The Adviser also provides investment advice on a non-discretionary basis to some clients.
The Adviser provides advice to client accounts based on specific investment objectives
and strategies. Under certain circumstances, the Adviser may agree to tailor advisory
services to the individual needs of clients. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or certain types of securities.
